Hey guys, what would you do if you came across replies like this: "Hi, thank you, but I like to write all my own YouTube scripts / emails." Would you explain why,how copywriters are helpful, or would you just leave them?

There's one issue with doing instagram cold outreach as a freelancer, and it's the reason why it stops a lot of people from progressing and getting clients no matter how many messages they send. Of course, there's other reasons why your instagram outreach may not be working, But this is one of the greatest issues. A great issue that you can't really control, but can try get around. I know this because I've done hundreds of DMS, got clients doing it. When your doing outreach, you are really on the backfoot. In other words, your coming to the prospect. It's VERY cold. But what this also means is, they look down on you, they know why your outreaching, they can see through what your doing. And so your authority and status is VERY low in the prospects eyes. Which means even if you do things like high value outreach upfront, they won't appreciate it because that's just not the framing their in, and you will get discouraged very very quickly. Problem is aswell, If you do high value upfront, You can't do volume, and volume is very key to outreach. And with high value upfront, you cannot do volume because your capped by samples and how long it takes you to get that stuff ready. If your on the back-foot in outreach, Don't put yourself on the backfoot even more. Increase your status when your reaching out to them. As soon as they see your profile and they see you eating pizza or a mirror pic of you, they are not going to trust in what you say. Your personal brand can help increase your status a bit more. But with outreach, your status is low. There's lot's of other reasons as to why your outreach might not be working, but this is one of the greatest issues.

Not many people talk about this, but this happened to me- It was the closest I’ve gone to a depression :( Therefore I want to warn you guys, fingers crossed 🤞 if it happens to you… I was having my dry days in the beginning of outreaching and I used to shoot up to 40 DMs a day to get no response One afternoon I got a text back saying “Hey I’m doing good, please tell me more” And then I hop on a call with her and we talked good and she said she liked my approach and would wish to proceed, and asked me to contact her after 2 days. I kid u not, I was soo happy, I was jumping over the roof telling everyone I’m gona be a millionaire, asking my friends “what colour is your Bugatti” 🚘 2 days later I wake up and the first thing I do is text her regarding a follow up as she requested. 1 hour read Followed up again 4 hours delivered Followed up the next day 2 days blocked …. I was literally staring at the wall and felt like an absolute IDIOT. I was so done that I thought I’d never outreach again (it was temporary ofc, the rage made me outreach 200 more people) But the point I’m trying to make is, Please PLEASE don’t get your hopes up TILL you get the money in the bank and till I see you spend it. You’re still in the battlefield; you’ve not won yet

If you feel de-motivated, If you feel stuck, If you feel lost, If you feel like things are taking way longer than they should, If you feel like your not making progress no matter how you try, If you question giving up sometimes If you feel let down because you haven't hit your goals yet even though your seeing others crushing it, Forget about all of that, THIS is might just change your world, Now, this is not gonna be that post where it's just affirmations, or someone shouting at you do "Do mOrE", This is something you've probably never seen before. Because when I saw this, it really made me think differently about my entrepreneurial journey. (Warning: This will be a long post, but a worth it one, just hold on with me here) So I just watched a movie yesturday with my family, It's called piece by piece, And it's Pharrel williams life story, (the guy who many the song: because I'm happyyyyy & minions music double life) Told in the form of LEGO. It's how he went from zero, broke, being told he couldn't succeed, he was "odd" To being one of the greatest artist known today, Actually, he's considered a music LEGEND. Now there was 3 particular moments in the movie that really sunk deep for me, No other artist... No entrepreneur... And no content creator has inspired me like pharrel has after I saw this... I won't spoilt the whole movie, that's for you to discover, But I'll tell you what really sunk with me. 👉 The fact that it took him 5 years JUST to start gaining traction He went to every artist he could find and asked everyone on the street to listen to his music, and got a bunch of NO's. Like a thousand no's.... After 5 years of making music, collecting beats, he got so many no's, so many rejections, so many "your not ready"s Nothing was working. But he was PERSISTANT, determined. If it meant jumping and stomping on the producers desk to get his point across, he did it Knocked on EVERY door. Imagine he he gave up on year 2, or year 3 or year 4...
